The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has confirmed that Arshdeep Singh is indeed ruled out of the 4th Test between India and England in Manchester. The southpaw suffered a cut to his hand during training last week, following which he received stitches. Meanwhile, it has also been confirmed that Nitish Kumar Reddy is ruled out of the remainder of the series.
As per the BCCI’s press release, Arshdeep suffered an impact injury to his left thumb during training. The BCCI medical team is monitoring him and has ruled him out of the 4th Test.
“Arshdeep Singh has been ruled out of the fourth Test against England at Manchester. He sustained an impact injury to his left thumb while bowling in the nets at a training session in Beckenham. The BCCI Medical Team is monitoring his progress,” the release stated.
Furthermore, the release stated that Nitish is scheduled to fly back to India after sustaining an injury to his left knee. The all-rounder tasted success with the ball in the Lord’s Test, picking up three wickets. With the bat, he played a handy 30-run knock in the 1st innings.
“All-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy has been ruled out of the remaining two Tests owing to a left knee injury. Nitish will fly back home, and the team wishes him a speedy recovery,” the release added.
